2016-08-29: It’s Been 50 Years Since The Beatles Final Concert | Radio.com (com áudio)

Mais um sítio com fonte de áudio (bootleg que o autor diz que não sabe quem foi o autor da fuga uma vez que apenas autorizou que PM fizesse uma cópia para o seu arquivo pessoal) do último concerto dos Beatles em 1966 que fez dia 29 50 anos:

It’s Been 50 Years Since The Beatles Final Concert « Radio.com

Interessante a versão do "If I Needed Someone" de GH (#3 no set list) e o chatter entre as músicas.

O Tony Barrow esqueceu-se de "virar a cassete" e só gravou uma parte do concerto o que é uma tremenda ironia (nunca vamos ouvir de novo a última música que eles tocaram ao vivo em tourné). ;)
Quando contou isso ao PM (que lhe tinha pedido para fazer a gravação por suspeitar fortemente que nunca mais iam tocar ao vivo em tourné) ele não se importou minimamente, de tão farto que estava da situação.

2016-08-29: O último concerto dos Beatles em Candlestick Park (com som)

Mais um excelente artigo da Rolling Stone sobre os últimos tempos dos concertos (incidentes nas Filipinas e depois nos EUA depois das declarações de Lennon sobre Jesus), o KKK, as chuvas, as fugas em bindados e som do último concerto que PM pediu a Tony Barrow para gravar (algo que nunca tinha feito), provavelmente por saber quebia ser o último:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/remembering-beatles-final-concert-w436179


PS. Mais uma ou duas quotes deliciosas de Lennon, a do Barroco e esta:
"Lennon took particular delight in making vaguely obscene alterations to their song lyrics ("I Wanna Hold Your Gland")"

2015-08-02: PM reage ao desaparecimento de Cilla Black em Espanha

http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-33751060 (notícia de 2015-08-02 na BBC).
Citando:
""I am so sad and shocked by news about my good friend Cilla," tweeted Dame Joan Collins. "She was a resplendent and rare talent."
"Such a shock to hear about Cilla's passing," said Sir Paul McCartney. "She was a lovely girl who infected everyone with her great spirit.
"From first meeting her as a cloak room girl at the Cavern in Liverpool, to seeing her many times since, she always had a fun-loving dignity that made her a great pleasure to be around.""

2016-08-27: Demo de PM para Cilla Black vendida em leilão

2016-08-25: Sobre a saída de JL dos Beatles em 1969 e o fim dos Beatles (Ray Connoly, jornalista)

... Contadas por um jornalista que soube guardar o segredo de JL, contado por JL e que afinal não era para ser guardado:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3759115/John-Lennon-handed-biggest-scoop-pop-history-blew-writer-closest-Beatles-confession-make.html


Citando:
"We were in Canada when John Lennon told me he’d left The Beatles. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
It was just before Christmas 1969, and a few nights earlier, while discussing his Beatles’ song lyrics on the phone, he’d suddenly invited me to join him and Yoko in Toronto, where he was going to meet Canada’s Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
So, there I soon was being driven through snow-covered Canadian fields to the home of rock singer Ronnie Hawkins, where John and Yoko were staying."
(A dapted from The Ray Connolly Beatles Archive, now available in paperback from Plumray Books. )

2016-08-26: Revolver e o LSD e mais uma quote de JL

Excelente artigo da Rolling Stone sobre o LSD e como este influenciou os Beatles para o álbum Revolver que faz este ano 50 anos:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/beatles-revolver-how-lsd-opened-the-door-to-a-masterpiece-w436062


PS. O artigo tem uma animação do que terá sido a primeira viagem de LSD de John e George. E mais uma citação impagável de JL:
"How dare you fucking do this to us?" (Citação no artigo da RS).

Especial de 20 páginas Beatles Live! na Mojo deste mês, com entrevista a PM e RS (em conjunto):
http://www.mojo4music.com/24527/beatles-toured-say-paul-ringo/


Citando:
"The cover story is part of a deluxe MOJO package that includes a CD of songs the Beatles played in their formative shows and two art prints that reproduce classic Beatles gig posters, all housed in a card sleeve.
Other unmissable Beatle elements include: Mark Lewisohn and Klaus Voormann on the Beatles’ Hamburg live onslaught; Giles Martin on the restoration of The Beatles: Live At The Hollywood Bowl album; Larry Kane risking life and limb in the Fabs’ cavalcade of chaos in 1964 and 1965; Jon Savage revisits the band’s underexplored farewell to UK stages; plus insiders recall the strong weed and lethal stages of the Beatles’ US 1966 swansong."

O artigo original do Guardian por altura da edição do "novo" álbum dos Beatles em 1966 (com imagem do aspecto do artigo original e tudo):

2016-08-15: The Guardian edita E-book com noticias dos Beatles (Amazon)

O "The Guardian" editou E-book com noticias dos Beatles (disponível Amazon). Interessante, detalhes completos na ligação abaixo: 

Citando o The Guardian (EN, RU) e a Amazon: 

• The Beatles: A Band Reviewed - a selection of the Guardian and Observer’s reporting on the Beatles from the last 50 years - is now available as an ebook.
• In 1960, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stu Sutcliffe and Pete Best first played together as The Beatles. On 5 October 1962, The Beatles – with Sutcliffe and Best out and Ringo Starr in – released their debut single, ‘Love Me Do’. The subsequent seven years saw them revolutionise Sixties music and leave their mark indelibly stamped right through pop culture. 
• ‘The Beatles: A Band Reviewed’ tells the story of The Beatles through the news items, reviews and interviews that appeared in two of Britain’s most respected newspapers. From the heyday of Beatlemania and the groundbreaking albums to the mixed successes of the solo years, it covers the key events. It also includes lesser well-known stories, such as that of Victor Keegan, a Guardian reporter, who received hundreds of phone calls, night and day, from people asking if they could speak to “Sgt J Pepper”. As fresh and revolutionary as the time in which they were written, this unique writing from the actual gigs and events that defined The Beatles is a unique and poignant history.

1965-08-19: Beatles (e Elvis) em Huston (EUA)

Artigo muito interessante sobre a passagem dos Beatles em Huston para 2 concertos no mesmo dia, com as mesmas 12 canções (para 10 e 12 mil pessoas). Nunca mais lá voltaram:


http://m.chron.com/local/history/major-stories-events/article/


PS. Interessante o comparativo (nos EUA) de Elvis com os Beatles (Elvis ganha em algumas métricas). E a frase de Lennon sobre as fotos espaciais: Impagável (apesar de cientificamente errado com a tecnologia de hoje em dia como se sabe).




Citando:
"At a news conference that afternoon, Lennon said, "We haven't seen much of Texas. We've only seen Dallas and here (Houston) and nearly got killed both times." Asked if the Beatles knew that Houston was home to the U.S. space program, Lennon said, "You see one space shot, you've seen them all."
The Beatles performed the same 12 songs at both shows: "Twist and Shout," "Baby's in Black," "She's a Woman," "I Feel Fine," "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," "Ticket to Ride," "Everybody's Tryin' to Be My Baby," "Can't Buy Me Love," "I Wanna Be Your Man," "A Hard Day's Night," "Help!" and "I'm Down."
Thirty-five minutes on and off the stage. The afternoon concert drew 10,000 fans. The evening show was a sellout, with 12,000 fans. By 11 p.m., the Beatles were off to their next concert in Chicago. The group never returned to Texas.
